Former Russian national hockey team doctor Alexander Rezepov believes CSKA Moscow goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov quickly restore “muscle memory” and before the start of the season will perform the tasks given to him by the coaches.
– Most likely, while in the army, he was actively engaged. As a rule, army athletes have more opportunities to train. I don’t think he lost his physical form. In terms of the game, yes, he lost. If it has a good working state, then it will be quite fast, just play connections and a few moments. Professional athletes have “muscle memory” and it recovers quickly. In a month, this is the maximum by which he will already join the team and perform the assigned tasks, ”Rezepov told Metaratings.ru.
Fedotov signed a rookie contract with NHL club Philadelphia Flyers in July 2022, but was drafted into the military for a year. After returning from service, he signed a two-year contract with CSKA. On Saturday, the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) announced that it had registered Fedotov’s contract with the Army club.
